Here comes heliborne fire support to the PLAN Marine

With the planned new-establishment or better expansion of a Marine Corps
via the transfer of PLA Brigades just a question: Is this only the
prelude to the formation of a dedicated PLAN Marine Corps including
their own aviation units with dedicated attack helicopters, construction
of helicopter carriers or LHA and transport types ??

Will this transfer of PLA-Brigades also include the transfer of PLA Army Aviation units like existing Z-10s to the PLAN Marine ?
